For the best parties...

Just got back to the apartment after another weekend filled with parties. On Saturday, the Sapulpa Boys and Girls Club held an event where everyone could come and use the facilities (indoor pool, gym, jupiter jumps) and get free food for the cost of admission of whatever you wanted to give. Since I was bringing the whole family I didn't want to be to chintzy, so I gave over $5. Not much, but since they were asking for pocket change I didn't feel that bad. The kids had a great time in the pool. But we were a little surprised at the very low (10 people) turnout. Then again it was like having the whole place to ourselves.

But the real party took place this afternoon. A member of FOAM, Larry Smith, invited everyone in the group and their families to his home for a pool party. And what a party. Larry made barbecued brisket and hamburgers while the FOAMers brought side dishes, desserts, beer and mead. The food was excellent. The beer and mead were heavenly.

But the kids really enjoyed the pool. Nick, Scooter and another girl (around age 9) were the only kids there. Nick had a blast sliding down the slide. While Scooter was the darling of all of the folks around the pool. Larry spent a good amount of time chasing Scooter in the pool as Mr. Crabs, from which she would gleefully paddle away. It was all very relaxing and quite enjoyable.

So if you want to have a great time this summer, hook up with your local brew club.
